Of course they did. And in what appears to be a parking lot; precious.
I attended Car Week in Monterey CA in 2009 I think, some huge ass car event for the millionaire set. Lots of great cars there (and many great people; I was in that years LeMons Rally) but you see too much shit like this.
A couple of us Lemons folk watched a rich couple in one of those generic supercar things do a 9000 point turn in a McDonalds parking lot, manual transmission of course, so they’re slipping the clutch like crazy because they have absolutely no fkn idea how to drive it.
Those are not good cars. This isn’t the 1960s any more. The engineers and drivers that made those famous, for good reason, are all long dead, the businesses now run by their kids to extract cash from fools. They’re playthings for the rich whose main feature is that you can’t afford them.
Oh I realize that. They’re not without engineering virtue or history ! (Wasted on most owners of them…)
But they’re also snobby status symbols and toys for the rich. And “fast car” is so 1970s… Expensive toys for the rich are an open target for ridicule for me, lol. YMMV!

Those are definitely not parking lots. The yellow lines suggests they are at a junction.
Also the street sign showing that it’s a street.
That said, first glance made my American ass think it was a parking lot too.
Nah, the cars are still pretty cool from the engineering side. Not disagreeing with the rest though
